What seat?

What do you plan on doing with the car? Daily? Weekend cruise? Race? I'd make a bracket for the stock seat belt if you plan on just driving it casually. The alternative is a harness...which sucks for daily use, and will require a harness bar, a roll bar, or welding in mount plates and drilling into your floor...

Make sure it's done right...one thing you don't want to mess with is compromising safety with something like seat belts...
But yah, stock belts would be the most friendly

I think memory fab super low rails come with mounts for the stock seat belt latch and work with most standard width buckets.

Nice! That's good to know as I'll be installing my seats/rails soon and would like to keep the seat belts as a primary option.
